JOB SUMMARY:
The Alliance is currently working on improving the accuracy of large language models to extract relevant information from scientific text. However, the agricultural research domain has a lower amount of annotated textual data, making it a low-resource domain. To ensure the AI models are as accurate as possible and to promote the reproducibility of our research, the Alliance needs to annotate a corpus of textual data for training and testing the models. We are seeking BSc or MSc level Economics students to assist in annotating textual data for a Named Entity Recognition (NER) project focused on economics. The data sources include scientific publications, reports, and news media.
